(3,066 posts)6. Yet you still buy from Starbucks and when you do you support union busting
and then whine about people not wanting to work and you put them out in the street when they try to survive against money and power. People having to live on the street does not bother you at all-no wonder we have so many living on the street, I can understand why they use drugs. And you the middle class taxpayer pays the price in taxes to take care of human misery while the powerful and rich do just fine. Un controlled Capitalism is evil as it takes from others to survive like the animals do in the field. It reduces people to the level of animals. Uncontrolled capitalism is evil.
